Honestly, I don't think anyone could have chronicled a better writeup on hhow it all started, Krish! It has clearly been a great pioneering effort from Namburi and you, and am glad you decided to take the commercial-free route. A big THANK YOU to both of you!!

I have just registered a site yesterday which I bought from a landlord yesterday in a full cheque deal (no cash). The landlord being well educated and well travelled was easy to communicate and deal with. I also got an EC issued reflecting the change in name after they updated the system. I will now...
